Information You Submit
Search terms
A name or location entered into a search tool is transmitted to the third-party company operating that tool. This site does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages
Email and contact submissions are retained as needed to answer the sender. They are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Automatic Technical Data
A visit may generate ordinary technical logs used to operate and understand the service:
- Internet Protocol address
- Browser name and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent
- Referring website, when supplied
- Date and time stamps
Cookies
Cookies help measure how visitors use the pages. A browser can reject or remove them, although some features may then work differently.
Purposes for Using Data
- Operate the pages and maintain performance
- Pass a search to the selected partner service
- Understand which information visitors use
- Diagnose faults and security problems
- Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests
Sites Beyond Our Control
Links lead to Knox County jail and court pages, Kentucky corrections services, federal locators, public-record portals, publishers, and outside search tools. Once a visitor leaves, the destination’s privacy rules control its collection and use of data.
Advertising providers may track activity across websites to select ads. That processing takes place through their systems and policies, not as an official Knox County function.
Limited Data Sharing
Personal information is not sold. It may be disclosed to search partners that process a query, analytics vendors, advertising networks, or a law-enforcement or government body acting under a valid legal order.
Reasonable Security Measures
Standard safeguards are used to reduce unauthorized access and loss. No website or internet transmission can be promised to be completely secure or immune from a breach.
Visitors Under Eighteen
The service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian may use the contact route to request deletion if a minor submitted information.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law, a person may ask what personal data is held, request correction or deletion, or object to certain processing. Requests can be directed through Contact Us.
Policy Revisions
This policy may be revised as practices or legal duties change. A revised version takes effect when it is posted here with its new effective date.
